This Doctor has it 100% right Dr. Camara Jones. All people have some underlying conditions as you get older.

No one race, color, or creed is being charged for medical treatment for this virus at any hospital in this country. Why are they not getting help.

Hoping it changes for all people soon

I've seen fast food drive through employees use a tray to give food to African-Americans and Hispanics, but use their hands to give the bags to white customers.

Who said they were?

Excellent. So, after decades of black communities being ruled by democrats. Who are you going to blame on racial disparities

Black communities in America has been ruled by democrats for decades On the other hand they claim american society has systemic racism Who do you think are they blaming on? Right. Republicans. Conservatives, Capitalism, White people aaaaand the Donald !!!!

Democrats sell out black Americans daily. They are only a means to and end for the white elite abortion fanatics

Fast food and smoking are the two main reasons why people have preconditions that are high risk w Covid-19. The more you indulged in it in your life, the higher your risk will be when infected. It's easy. Healthy food is hard to come by in the USA

Finally, the real reason! White ppl suffer from diseases w/ drug use at a larger rate than blacks. The difference is that they receive better healthcare than we do! Which is why we have a higher fatality rate of covid. And, to Dr. Jones point, we are greater exposed!

Could it be because they are more obese and have diabetes disproportionate to other races?

No shit.

Poor people and underprivileged are most exposed to the virus Latest updates | cases per million population👇 COVID2019 CoronaVirusUpdate

Stop making it a video, some folks still like to READ!

Wait, what? Did you just tell the truth.. Do you realize that whole bunch of stupidity caused REAL racism against Blacks in China?

Totally agree x

No hand sanitizer in the hood?

MalcolmNance amjoyshow So glad to see this being talked about. Seeing this first hand In Detroit and other black cities across the country. We have to do better! Where can you/we start

amjoyshow Oh just stop with the racism crap!

amjoyshow NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO POINT FINGERS

amjoyshow Terrible. A dem failure with the light shining bright.

amjoyshow Fake news said that Blacks were immune to the virus a month ago!! Didn't fit the agenda, DID IT!!

amjoyshow I caught false response from D presidential candidate, he said oh in the past few years the governor refused to expand even though the fed willingly to pay 100% to the tap. The government is ok, the governors of each state are the ones to blame.

amjoyshow What a crock of crap. The virus singles out black people?PKANNED PARENTHOOD SINGLES OUT BLACK PEOPLE.. look at those statistics...

amjoyshow I made a text on this in the beginning of March, I was called a racist, Wow what are highly educated texting now, are they racist?

amjoyshow Are you speaking of COVID19 aka the CCPVirus ? Take it up with the Chinese Communist Party if you manage to unglue your lips from their arses. Here is a documentary by EpochTimes exposing the origins of this virus and our media for censoring the truth.

amjoyshow Actually its genetics.

amjoyshow Low income homes regardless of race are more congestedwith people. Blacks diets comparably unhealthy hi in sugar and saturated fats. Drink more alcohol and smoke more. This is the truth. Race in and of itself irrelevant.

amjoyshow Trumps virus is doing exactly what he wanted, hit the poor, hit the people of color so when people do return to work Trumps corporate partners will tell employees you want your job! You vote how I tell you!!

amjoyshow I'm asking this sincerely!! not sarcastically... How is it racism when the virus doesn't intentionally choose skin color. I'm a confused old white lady!!!! Just want someone to give me their view!!

amjoyshow Maybe the areas with high number of cases should stop voting blue. It’s really working out for them.

amjoyshow No personal responsibility involved? Exercise? Diet?

amjoyshow Sounds like liberalism

amjoyshow What have genetic tests revealed about the coronavirus ❓❓❓❓ COVID__19 Covid_19
